    S7 E8 Gadget Caches with Tankengine and DTY73

    This month on Geocaching Downunder, PurpleCacheEater and Cosmonaut97 are joined by Canberra cachers Tankengine and DTY73 to talk all things Gadget Caches. If you like caches with buttons, levers, puzzles, moving parts, clever mechanisms or those moments where you stand there thinking, “Righto... what am I supposed to do with this?”, this one is for you. Tankengine and DTY73 will be giving us a sneak peek at some of the gadget caches they have been creating for the Moruya GeoBash next year. Don’t worry, there’ll be no spoilers. We might show you the cache, but we’re definitely not giving away the trick to opening it! And these creations haven’t all come from one cacher’s brain. DTY73, along with her father YOUBAN, has helped Tankengine build caches and come up with gadget cache design ideas, so we’ll hear how some of those ideas go from “What if we tried this?” to a cache that has finders scratching their heads in the field. We’ll chat about what makes a great gadget cache, where the ideas come from, the challenges of turning those ideas into something that actually works, and the work Tankengine does producing high-quality digitally printed cache containers. Come along, join the chat and see just how much engineering, creativity and geocaching mischief can fit inside one cache container. Enjoying the show, why not connect with GDU on our socials?

    S7 E5 GDU Goes to Europe

    PurpleCacheEater is heading to Europe in June for 40 days, and cosmonaut97 is along for the ride... at least for this conversation! But first, there is a stopover in Singapore where PCE will be making a mad dash to grab a cache right there in the airport. Priorities, people. From there it is on to some of the most cache-rich destinations on the planet. London's CBD is calling with its incredible urban hides, while England and Ireland serve up centuries-old castles, stunning loughs and rugged coastlines just begging to be explored, cache in hand. Then it is off to Iceland, where volcanoes, geysers and waterfalls provide a backdrop unlike anything you will find back home. Norway takes things up another notch with its jaw-dropping fjords and some of the most scenic caching terrain in the world. And no European adventure would be complete without France, where PCE will be hunting for hides in the shadow of some of the most iconic landmarks on earth. Basically, PCE is living the dream and we are all coming along for the ride. Enjoying the show? Why not connect with GDU on our socials?

    S7 E2 That_Earthcache_Guy

    We are back with another Geocaching Downunder episode. PurpleCacheEater and cosmonaut97 are joined by Jon (That_Geocaching_Guy) to talk about what makes EarthCaches so addictive, the moments that hook you, and the details that separate a good one from an unforgettable one. Jon shares how he helps the community through his EarthCache Writing 101 class, including teaching it remotely to a group in Queensland, and why you should absolutely reach out if you have an idea brewing. We also dig into the very real question he kept getting last year: “Can I turn this photo into an EarthCache?” It came up so often that Jon created his EarthCache or Pass? tool. If you stumble across something geologically interesting and think it might have EarthCache potential, you can submit the details and photos through his form and he will do some analysis to help you figure out if you have got something worth pursuing. And if you love a challenge, Jon has also created EarthCache Bingo with 25 squares to complete, which is basically permission to plan your next adventure around geology and smilies.
